The vast majority of ERI's funding is derived through donations from concerned citizens, private foundations, community organizations, and corporate gifts of both cash and in-kind donations of materials and labor. We feel truly fortunate to have the support of these people and entities who share our belief that the development of a strain of elk genetically resistant to Chronic Wasting Disease is the most promising long term solution to this devastating disease. Without the generous public support our research efforts would not be possible.
